These are the meeting minutes I wrote up following a meeting we had on Nov 2 of last year. I recovered it from my email archive. I’ve only modified it to remove names, per my custom here on the blog. I’m adding them to the blog for 2 reasons: first, because my being an SAHD is the major reason I’m a Den leader making the content entirely blog appropriate; and second, they might prove useful for other Den leaders looking for ideas.
We were at the Fire Station for our meeting, where we talked about emergencies and when it’s appropriate to call 911, as well as some simple First Aid stuff as well. Afterwards, the Scouts got a chance to go inside an ambulance and see what some of the procedures are and how some of the equipment is used. The Scouts even got a chance to see the crew respond to a call, though the crew was ultimately called back as the people had left the scene by the time the emergency crew arrived.
Prior to the meeting, we distributed binders to the kids to help track there progress through the remainder of the year. It will also be used for homework assignments as well as a scrapbook of sorts for their Scouting adventures. Again, thanks to Heather for putting those together for the kids.
Speaking of home assignments, 2 of those are the Emergency Phone Number List and the Healthy Habits chart. They don’t HAVE to have those completed for the next meeting, but those are assignments they can work towards completing. The home assignments go towards completing their requirements for the Wolf Badge.
